Birth, Having the local storage plugin installed but disabled means it is lurking there if needed. Imagin for examples it was on tiddlywiki.com if you switched it on and customised it a little every time you return the customisations will remain. Arguably you could load the edition from a read only location and start editing in the browser or on your mobile, without being able to save, then you go opps, I will activate local storage and keep working. Even after closing the window you can return on the same device to the same url and the local storage reloads your changes. When you get home or have the time you can export your changes and re-import on a writable copy. This is not possible unless the local storage plugin is first installed.
You could call it contingency planning. There are many reasons why this can be used in the future and that is why I installed it, for future options. The concern about installing too much before hand is in many cases a furphy the functionality is what we and new users want. This is in part why I want to start publishing fairly simple functional versions because we typically only see empty or finished editions. To combat the risk of loss I plan to make it possible to backup the changes only and recover the wiki state from those changes if lost. ie backup the changes from a Read only internet resource not the whole wiki.
